Do you ever ask to speak to a supervisor when you get good customer service? I was dealing with T-Rowe Price about some financial information over the phone and the guy was super helpful, extremely knowledgeable and he fixed me online problem with little hassle. I got the email for his supervisor and sent them a message about how good he was to work with. They emailed me back thanking me and said this message would go in the employees personal file. It felt good to praise someone instead of only talking to management when someone sucks at their job. I don't think this is done enough.

I do it far more frequently than for receiving bad service. I always go out of my way to ask for a supervisor to give praise, because I don't think it does get done enough. The way customer service has died over the last ten years, I want to do my part to bring it back.

Not really. I live on the coast so a lot of the extreme heat like that is countered by cool air from the south or the ocean to the east. But today there was a bunch of hot air that came from inland and living on the coast didnt help this time. The article I linked above shows how serious the fire warnings were. Incredibly, tomorrow is forcasted to max at only 77 degrees. Although on Friday and Saturday itll be up around 91 and 99.

We had alot of fire warnings during our summer, too. Mainly due to a drought that was covering the most of the United States. it was probably the hottest summer I have a memory of, but I'm not that old.

What's your winter like?

yeah its pretty rare to have fire warnings near the east coast, but today the fire danger was rated as "catastrophic":

The winters get cold, but nowhere near "snow" cold. During the day in winter (atleast in Sydney) it doesn't get much colder than about 59 degrees, not including wind chill.
